LESSON 1: Team Sport- Basketball
Basketball is a team sport, wherein the objective is to shoot a ball through a basket horizontally positioned to
score points while following a set of rules. Usually, two teams of five players play on a marked rectangular court with a
basket at each width end. Basketball is one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports. A team can score a
field goal by shooting the ball through the basket during regular play. A field goal scores two points for the shooting team
if a player is touching or closer to the basket than the three-point line, and three points (known commonly as a 3-pointer
or three) if the player is behind the three-point line. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but
additional time
(overtime) may be issued when the game ends with a draw. The ball can be advanced on the court by bouncing it while
walking or running (dribbling) or throwing (passing) it to a teammate. It is a violation to move without dribbling the
ball (travelling), to carry it, or to hold the ball with both hands then resume dribbling (double dribble).

HISTORY
Basketball was invented in December 1891 by the Canadian clergyman, educator, and physician James Naismith.
Naismith introduced the game when he was an instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association Training School (now
Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts. At the request of his superior, Dr. Luther H. Gulick, he organized a
vigorous recreation suitable for indoor winter play. The game involved elements of American football, soccer, and
hockey,
and the first ball used was a soccer ball. Teams had nine players, and the goals were wooden peach baskets affixed to the
walls. By 1897-1898, teams of five became standard. The game rapidly spread nationwide and to Canada and other parts
of the world, played by both women and men; it also became a popular informal outdoor game. U.S. servicemen in World
War II (1939-1945) popularized the sport in many other countries. A number of U.S. colleges adopted the game between
about 1893 and 1895. In 1934 the first college games were staged in New York City's Madison Square Garden, and
college basketball began to attract heightened interest. By the 1950s, basketball had become a major college sport, thus
paving the way for a growth of interest in professional basketball. The first pro league, the National Basketball League,
was formed in 1898 to protect players from exploitation and to promote a less rough game. This league only lasted five
years before disbanding; its demise spawned a number of loosely organized leagues throughout the north eastern United
States. One of the first and greatest pro teams was the Original Celtics, organized about 1915 in New York City. They
played as many as 150 games a season and dominated basketball until 1936. The Harlem Globetrotters, founded in 1927,
a notable exhibition team, specializes in amusing court antics and expert ball handling. In 1949, two subsequent
professional leagues, the National Basketball League (formed in 1937) and the Basketball Association of America (1946)
merged to create the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Boston Celtics, led by their center Bill Russell,
dominated the NBA from the late 1950s through the 1960s. By the 1960s, pro teams from coast to
coast played before crowds of many millions annually. Wilt Chamberlain, a center for the Los
Angeles Lakers, was another leading player during the era, and his battles with Russell were
eagerly anticipated. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, also a center, came to prominence during the 1970s.
Jabbar perfected his famed "sky hook" shot while playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and dominated
the opposition.
The NBA suffered a drop in popularity during the late 1970s, but was resuscitated, principally
through the growing popularity of its most prominent players. Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics, and
Magic Johnson of the Los Angeles

Lakers are credited with injecting excitement into the league in the 1980s through their superior
skills and decade-long rivalry. During the late 1980s Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls rose to
stardom and helped the Bulls dominate the
NBA during the early 1990s. A new generation of basketball stars, including Shaquille O'Neal of the
Orlando Magic and Larry Johnson of the Charlotte Hornets, have sustained the NBA's growth in
popularity. In 1959, a Basketball Hall of Fame was founded in Springfield, Massachusetts. Its
rosters include the names of great players, coaches, referees, and people who have contributed
significantly to the development of the game.

Basic Skills in Basketball (How They Are Properly Executed)

Shooting
The first basic skill to be learned is shooting. Players spend a good deal of
their practice time on shooting drills to improve their skill level. After all, if you can't
shoot - you can't score! So, here’s how you can improve your shooting skills in
basketball:
 Remember BEEF (Balance, Elbow, Elbow, Follow Through when
shooting the ball.
 Be relaxed and concentrate on the basket.
 Know when you have a good shot and then take it.
 Be in proper balance when shooting the ball.
 Follow through on every shot you take.
 Jump naturally. “Up, hang, shoot!” is an easy way to remember this.
 Make sure you have an arc on every shot you take.
 Be relaxed when shooting free throws.
 Practice all of your shots.
Dribbling
Dribbling in basketball is a skill that you should master. It allows you to
move around the court while you’re in possession of the ball. It is a legal method
that allows you to advance with the ball and make a score as opposed to that of
passing it to a teammate to shoot it for the basket. This is how it is done:
 Dribble the ball with hand and use only the tip of your finger in dribbling it.
 Employ the wrist and the forearm to put the ball while covering the court.
 Don’t involve the whole hand to avoid losing control of the ball.
 Don’t keep your fingers in touch with each other while dribbling.
 Spread your fingers to allow full control of the ball as it dribbles.
 Dribble the ball in one side of your body. and not right in front. While
dribbling in one hand, use the other hand to drive your defender away from the ball.
Passing
One of the primary skills created to accomplish this is passing. It is a
skill that maximizes the involvement of all player in setting up a play to earn
successful shots and earn points for the whole team. To learn more about
passing, read and practice as instructed below:
 Basically, there are two types of pass: air pass and bounce pass. Air pass travels
between players without hitting the floor. Bounce pass is thrown to the floor so that
it bounces to the intended receiver.
 Air passes include chest pass - a pass that originates from the chest to the
receiver’s chest level; and overhead pass - a pass that originates from the forehead.
With this pass, aim for your teammate's chin.
 Don’t bring the ball behind your head because it can get stolen and it takes a
split-second longer to throw the pass.
 In executing bounce passes, calculate about 3/3 distance from the receiver as the
hitting point so that the ball bounces right to your receiver. But for better accuracy,
2|Page
you have to experiment by yourself because the bounce is directly proportional with
how strong the ball hits the floor.
 A good pass is a pass a teammate can catch.
 When passing, step toward your receiver.
 When catching, step toward the pass.
 Like shooting, the ball should have a backspin to it.

Rebounding
Rebounding is one of the major aspects of the game. It is your ability to jump
with power to gain possession of the ball as it bounces to the rim after a failed shot
before it touches the floor. Here are the ways on how to make a good rebound.
 Practice good footwork and vertical leap or jumps. Anticipate where the ball will
land.
 The longer the shot or the harder the rim, the farther the bounces.
 When a shooter is a soft shooter, this means he always takes time to put an arc on
his shots; the ball bounces near the ring. When a shooter is a hard shooter, this
means there is a little or no arc on his shots, then the ball bounces far from the
ring.
 Leg power and strong body are needed in rebounding that is why it is essential
that strength and power exercises should be considered to conditioning your body.
Running
Running is one of the basic skills that a basketball player should
possess. Because in this sport, speed defines the best. Whether you’re on
the offensive or defensive side of the game, passing, receiving, shooting or
rebounding a ball, you always have to run in any way possible. Here are
some tips for you to improve your running skills:
• Always have a good pair of playing shoes.
• Always do a combination of dynamic stretching and warm-up activities across the
court before going out to play a game.
